Baby's First Blog

 Hello readers! I'm not actually a baby, and I won't be representing one. I am a 21-year-old college student, and I am creating this blog as part of my schoolwork. Enjoy traveling through my blog and watching my progress as I learn more about multimedia fundamentals. 

I am new to computer information systems, but I am having a lot of fun learning all of these new skills. I hope to graduate soon with the ability to work in web development and design. I do not wish to get much more personal than this, but I will provide photos of my dogs. Both as an offer to get to know me a bit better and because my dogs are precious, even if you don't like dogs. 

Pictured above are Zeus (middle), Apollo (left), and Hercules (right)

He spaced out the text in a way that supplied detailed information without appearing to be overwhelming. His use of bold and italicized  text seemed to

Defining What Makes a Logo Good           An article posted on Canva's website details many effective guidelines for creating a logo. Canva stressed the importance of creating a well-thought-out color pallet for your logo. It's best to choose either an analogous color palette, which is when you use colors that are similar but different (like purple and pink), or complementary colors that oppose each other (like purple and yellow). Canva editors believe that the use of white space, along with visual harmony, and having elements aligned are important aspects of the presentation of a logo. It is also noted to be helpful to use readable typography, shapes for contrast, and significant icons.
